This is a narrative project we were given before winter break. It was a challenging project that was spread over a couple of months. We were given specific size requirements and to only create four illustrations for the short story we chose. I chose Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.
I decided to represent one half of the city (carnival) with a peacock, and the other (dull city life) with a pigeon. At the end of the story it's revealed that the pigeons made up the city and once they flew away that half of the city disappeared, and the carnival remained until the pigeons returned.
For this project I used ink on gummed watercolour paper.
